Verification Process

Once you have received an offer from an employer, come to the Student Employment Office to obtain your Employment Eligibility Card. If you are a new student worker, please follow the steps as outlined below to complete the new electronic verification process.

You may complete the employment verification process any time after an offer of employment has been made, but prior to being hired. Students will not be allowed to begin work until this process has been completed.
